| Abstract | We are concerned with the existence of even number of positive solutions for the 3n th order three-point boundary value problem
 satisfying the boundary conditions
 for 1 ≤ i ≤ n, where n ≥ 1, t 1 < t 2 < t 3 and
 is continuous. We establish the existenceof at least two and then 2m positive solutions for an arbitrary positive integer m, by using the Avery and Henderson functional fixed point theorem. |
